- UUM are interested to host a PingER workshop at UUM in 2014. However, they have two issues, one is the budget (they need to run this workshop on cost recovery basis); second is their commitment to MYIGF which is hosted by UUM (btw 12-13 august). There was no update 3/5/2014. We Email sent 3/25/2014 and 3/26/2014. We need an update.

Renan realized that testing on Virtuoso is going to take longer than he thought because of the big number of triples. Any progress?

Saqib submitted an FRGS 2014 proposal ("A Fundamental Active Internet Performance Monitoring Framework for Malaysian Research & Education Network") for 36 months. Can we share it?. Proposes to submit another in ERGS or E-Science grants.
Saqib is working with the IT department in UTM to solve the problems of delays in traceroute. They have a new ISP. Now the pinger server is working with single static IP (161.139.68.188) both for intranet and internet. Previous internet IP 161.139.146.158 is removed. Again given the new historical traceroute facility (see below), it is important to get this working.

Saqib has started a case study of Malaysian hosts seen from Malaysian Monitors. He has updated the remote host list on UTM Pinger (Malaysian & S.E Asia) and remote host xml tool. In the next two weeks, he will finish the case study of Malaysian hosts seen from Malaysian Monitors.
The case study is identifying the need The case study is identifying the need for the Malaysian monitors to collect traceroutes to their target hosts daily. SLAC has a script to facilitate this, for routes seen from SLAC, that could be adapted for other sites. The latest copy of the word file was shared with Badrul and Johari. No update 2/5/2014. We need an update.
UUM
Adib was unable to attend the meeting. He provided an update by email: "The PingER monitor will be up soon" . Update requested Update requested on the status of the PingER host at UUM, 3/21/2014, more emails 3/25/2014, 3/26/2014.
NUST
The PingER monitor at SEECS/NUST (maggie1) is being rebuilt on a different computer following a crash.
...
The BeaconLists at NUST and SLAC are out of sync. Raja will compare the two pinger.xml files. It turns out NUST was not using the HostList for the non Beacons and so had an expanded BeaconList which was updated from SEECS. Raja has explained this to NUST and believe it will be easy to synchronize. Update requested 3/21/2014.

and Co. have not been successful yet in establishing contacts in Bahawalpur despite the fact the they have been constantly contacting them.
The installation of PingER at Sahiwal is complete. It just needs the Beacon List. Update requested 3/21/2014
Quest.seecs.edu.pk has been restored to a working state

Anjum pointed out that there are working PingER monitors that SLAC appears unable to gather data from. An example is the Comsats host. Les discovered that SELInux needed to be disabled. it is working now. Are there other such hosts, update requested 3/21/2014?
Kashif asked about the definition of Beacons. Les updated the web page at http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/beacon.html. Hopefully this helps.
TULIP - Raja
Raja has added the ability to insert a captured traceroute into VTrace to get its route visualized. Try it at http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/reflector.cgi?function=vtrace. We are looking to add a link to it from the perfSONAR home page.

We have sent a reminder email to Yahoo giving them an update on TULIP and how it might be extended to meet their needs. They have responded, they appear to be interested. We are trying to interest them in providing landmarks. No update 2/18/2013, 3/26/2014.
PingER at SLAC
Raja has also re-written the historical traceroute facility that takes nightly traceroutes and allows one to retrieve and compare them. He then extended it to use the reverse traceroute facility to provide histories for NUST, CERN, UM as well as SLAC. When the UNIMAS and UTM traceroutes work, we can include them. See for example http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/traceroutearchive.cgi
